How to get involved

Attend meetings which are convened by the various school bodies at the beginning of each school year.

Make an appointment to speak with your child’s teacher to discuss any concerns which you might have from time to time.

Take an active interest in your child’s progress through examining his homework and his school journals.

Guidelines for getting involved

The happiness, welfare and safety of our children are our primary concern.

Respect for the teachers in their professional capacity is essential.

Discipline remains the responsibility of the teacher.

In order to minimise disruption of classroom work, prior appointments are necessary if you wish to speak to the class teacher. These appointments may be made through the school secretary or by note to the teacher.
